A Capitol Fourth: 2011 Concert Lineup Announced

If you’re anything like me then you tend to steer clear of the National Mall on Independence Day due to massive crowds. This year, though, I may make a trip down there. Why? The lineup for the Capitol Fourth concert sounds like fun.

A Capitol Fourth marks its thirtieth season this year and is celebrated for being one of the highest rated programs on PBS over the past decade. The concert will air live from the Capitol’s west lawn on Monday, July 4 from 8 to 9:30 p.m. (ET) The show can also be heard live in stereo over NPR Member stations nationwide, but why be a television viewer or radio listener when you can get down there and watch the show in person?

We went to A Capital Fourth a few years ago. If you don’t mind getting there early for a good seat (don’t sit too close to the stage or you can’t see the fireworks)and the mass of humanity on the subway after, it was completely awesome!
